Bailey's Pecan Slice

If you love pecan or pecan pie you would love these slices. Besides the traditional cakes and cookies during the holidays, pecan bars are a wonderful change as it’s also an easy alternative to the traditional Pecan Pie. I added some Bailey’s Irish Cream to it but you can always omit it or replace it with some rum or bourbon.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Greased and line the 8” x 8” square baking pan with parchment paper with leaving an overhang on both side (for easy removing you slices later.2. To make the crust place flour, brown sugar, butter, salt, and baking powder in food processor. Process mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Pat mixture evenly into prepared pan and bake until crust is light brown and springs back when touched, about 20 minutes.3. While crust bakes make the filling. Whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, bailey’s, vanilla, and salt in medium bowl until just combined. Add egg and whisk until incorporated.4. Pour filling on top of hot crust and sprinkle pecans evenly over top. Bake until top is brown and cracks start to form across surface, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool and cut into slices.
